"Vermont is a state I love"

Born on the Fourth of July, Calvin Coolidge of Plymouth Notch, VT, became president 100 years ago on August 3, 1923. Living history performer Tracy Messer of the Coolidge Presidential Foundation takes us to simpler times in this appearance. "In almost every speech I gave in my administration I advocated for fiscal frugality and personality responsibility," said Coolidge, er, Messer. Bonus: Coolidge scholarship competitors recite the Declaration of Independence.

Welcoming immigrants to the Upper Valley

3CVT, TRORC, GMEDC, SHARe, Vital Communities, and regional partners led a discussion following their presentation “Utica: The Last Refuge," a film about immigration and inclusivity, how refugees positively impact local economies, and the struggles they face in an upstate NY community. They related the film's themes to challenges for immigrants in the Upper Valley and paths for volunteers to make a difference.

Produced by Kate Barber, Mike Canon and Drew Boyce for JAM at Briggs Opera House (6/15/23)

Find out how they influenced his career and helped him win the Presidency in this riveting lecture by author and photographer Christopher Dant of Manchester, VT.

Dance is motion and motion is life. In every culture around the world dance is a means of expressing identity and feelings and connect with others. Dance is the yeast that makes the bread rise. It is the essential ingredient in all celebrations of joyful life events. We love dancing and we invite you to join in!
